Unable to open device, status=12

Post by labfis »

Hardware: PicoScope4224
Software: PS4000sdk_r10_4_3_1, example PS4000con.c compiled in Borland C++ (Windows XP and Windows 7)
Picoscope 6 works ok

How can I communicate with picoscope?
Thanks

Is PicoScope 6 still running when you try to open the device in your application ?

Have you linked against ps4000bc.lib ?

1. PicoScope 6 is not running
2. I linked ps4000bc.lib to the project because otherwise I can not compile it.

Can you post back exactly what you see in the console window.

I had to reduce the PS4000con.c just keeping the
status = ps4000OpenUnit(&(unit.handle)) funcion because I could not compile it, it is attached and console print screen also.

Can I see the errors you get when you try to compile the console program as supplied in the sdk.

This looks like a lib file issue, correct this and then it should work

Can you try using coff2omf.exe at a command prompt to convert ps4000.lib into a lib file for use in C++ Bulider XE

The executable can be found in the Embarcadero bin directory and is used :-

coff2omf ps4000.lib newps4000bc.lib
